Self harm (steve harrington & robin buckley)

Tw: self harm
(You work at family video with Steve and Robin)

You are putting some new movies away on the shelves when your sleeve rolls down a bit and shows cuts and scars, Robin was on the other shelf beside you. You quickly roll your sleeve back up, hoping that Robin didn't see anything, Robin managed to get just a peek when your sleeve was rolled down but didn't get a good look at the cuts. You walk away to go out back to collect more of the new movies that came in to put them on the shelves when Robin grabs your wrist and you wince from the pain from her slightly squeezing your cuts. "Y/n, are you okay? You seem off today", Robin asks, "uhm, yeah I'm fine", you quickly reply. Robin let's go of your wrist and you rub it, trying to ease the pain as you walk away to the storage room to collect more movies to stock on the shelves.

Robins POV
You walk over to Steve while y/n is in the storage room, "hay, Steve, y/n has been acting so strange, do you think something happened", you ask with slight worry, "well, they did seem a little off when they got here, maybe they are just having a bad day", Steve replies, "maybe you're right, but I'm just going to keep an eye on them today, just to be safe", you answer.

Y/n's POV
You come out the storage room with a box of movies and walk over to the shelves and start stocking the movies onto the shelves. You finish putting all the movies on the shelves. The thing is everything has been so stressful lately, and today you feel horrible and everything feels like it's going downhill, bad thoughts start to invade your mind like a parasite. You put the empty box back in the storage room and spot Robin and Steve each helping a separate customer, Now's my chance, you think to yourself, your self harm urges have been getting worse and worse throughout the day. You speed walk to the bathroom while Steve and Robin are distracted. You shut the bathroom door and lock it, you pull out your blade and start carving cuts into your skin, you swipe to make another cut, when you realise you have gone too deep, you have hit the subcutaneous Tissue (also known as 'the beans').

You quickly grab some toilet paper and put pressure on the wound but it just wouldn't stop bleeding. Blood starts to drip on the floor and starts making a small pool of blood, you start to panic as the pool of blood on the floor gets bigger and bigger, until, "Y/n! Everything okay in there?", Robin asks while knocking on the door, "yeah I'm fine! Just...period cramps", you blurt out, that being the only excuse you could think of, "oh okay, just tell me if you need anything", Robin replies. You hear Robins footsteps as they fade away. You don't know what to do, you grab more tissue paper and just sit on the toilet lid, you are shaking and by now you probably look as pale as a ghost, you forgot about your other cuts and now half your arm is covered with dry blood because you were too focused on your deep cut that still won't stop bleeding. You start sobbing, thinking you're going to bleed to death but you are just too scared to call for anyone.

You start to feel light headed and get up to sit down on the floor. You sit down on the bathroom floor and rest your head against the wall, you check your watch and see that it's closing time, closing time already?! How long have I even been in here?!, you think to yourself, you suddenly hear footsteps coming to the bathroom door. "Y/n, it's closing time, why are you still in there? Are you okay?", Steve says, "uhm, y-yeah I'm okay..", you say quietly but enough so Steve can hear you, "no you're not, your voice sounds weak, come out please y/n", Steve demands, "yeah y/n, we know it isn't girl problems you're dealing with in there", Robin says.

"I'm gonna have to break this door open if you don't come out y/n", Steve says slightly raising his voice. You don't reply because you feel too weak to do anything. "Okay, I'm coming in", Steve says. You start to hear loud banging on the door as Steve attempts to break the door open while hitting it hard with his side. You suddenly hear the door swing open and Steve and Robin see the blood everywhere. "Y/n! How did this happen?!", Robin asks with much worry in her voice. You don't reply and can only breathe heavily. "Come on y/n, please stand up", Steve asks, "I-I can't..", you manage to mutter out, Steve picks you up, bridle style, and carry's you out the bathroom and Robin grabs a mop to mop up the blood.

Steve places you down behind the counter and gets a med kit from one of the drawers. He takes the toilet paper off your arm and starts to clean the wound with some alcohol free cleansing wipes. "There, all done", he says and starts to wrap your arm with bandages. Robin comes running up behind the counter and sees Steve wrapping your arms up. "Okay y/n, I'm gonna have to carry you to the car", Steve says and he picks you up in a bridle style. Robin follows Steve while he's carrying you, she changes the 'open' sign to 'closed' and locks the front door. Steve opens the car and puts you in the back seat with Robin and starts to drive.

You are looking out the window when Robin asks, "y/n, why did you cut yourself?", she asks, hoping for an answer, "well, everything has been so rough lately, and I have been trying to stay sober but nothing is managing to stop me from doing it", you blurt out, "y/n, we can help you stop, and we will
be sure you do not hurt yourself, think of us as...your guardians!", Steve says, trying to lighten you up. "But first you need to give us your tool", Steve says ,"my..what?", you say in confusion, "the thing you use to hurt yourself", Robin responded for Steve, "what? No! It's the only thing that actually helps me!", you raise your voice. Robin starts to dig around in your pockets as you try push her away. She manages to find your blade in the inner pocket of your flannel shirt, "got it!", Robin grinned, she passed it to Steve and he threw it out the window.

Steve pulls up to his house and you all get out the car and go inside. Robin and Steve help you inside and they sit you down on the sofa, both of them sitting down on the other sofa facing you. "So, how long have you been hurting yourself?" Steve questioned, "about 2 years I think", you replied softly, "2 whole years? y/n that's too long for something like that to be going on for", Robin estimated. Steve got up to go get something for you to eat. He came back with a plate with an apple, you took the apple and started to nibble on it. "So y/n, this may be hard for you but you need to show us the other arm", Robin muttered, "uhm....o-okay", you replied with a shaky voice. You put the apple down on the coffee table and carefully pulled up your sleeve on your other arm to reveal tons of cuts and scars covering all around your arm.

"Y/n, we are here for you, you know that", Steve comforted. They both got up and sat next to you, both giving you a side hug. For the rest of the night, you all watched tv and ate food. Finally for once in your life you felt happy and at peace.
